Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood PalChristopher MooreWhile some might find it irreverent or even blasphemous, this book made me laugh and reminded me what I love about my religion. I couldn’t put it down. If you can take a tongue and cheek, yet still critical, view of the origins of Christianity, please pick this one up. |
ShopgirlSteve MartinReading it 2 times, I hung on for the last word each time... Steve Martin has accomplished a beautiful piece of work in only 130 pages.

The Red TentAnita DiamantTHE RED TENT tells the little-known Biblical story of Dinah, daughter of the patriarch Jacob and his wife, Leah.

Plain TruthJodi PicoultI’ve recently started reading anything and everything Jodi Picoult has written. Thankfully, there’s quite a selection to choose from. My favorite so far has been her novel, Plain Truth. She has a great way of combining psychological drama and courtroom suspense with insights into complex human relationships.
